ish  Composition,  a foreign  language,  a science  or  math- 
ematics, physical  education,  and  in  the  case  of  men,

—3— 


By  proper  selection  of  freshmen  and  sophomore 
studies  a student  may  prepare  himself  for  professional 
courses,  such  as  medicine,  law,  engineering,  architec- 
ture, mining,  chemistry,  dentistry,  etc. 

Choice  of  Major  Study:  Each  student  is  required 
to  specialize  in  some  one  field  which  is  known  as 
his  major  subject.  This  subject  must  be  chosen  not 
later  than  the  beginning  of  the  junior  year. 

TRAINING  FOR  TEACHERS 

Students  who  take  certain  required  courses  in  the 
Department  of  Education  receive  upon  graduation  the 
University  Certificate  of  Qualification  to  Teach,  which 
entitles  them  to  teach  in  all  public  schools  of  the  state 
without  examination. 

Grades  earned  at  the  State  University  in  teachers’ 
certificate  subjects  are  accepted  in  lieu  of  the  regular 
state  or  county  examinations,  and  are  accredited  to 
the  certificate. 

Attendance  at  the  State  University  education  courses 
satisfies  the  law  enacted  by  the  last  legislature  which 
requires  the  completion  of  a twelve- weeks  normal 
course  as  a prerequisite  for  a teacher’s  certificate. 

UNIVERSITY  LIFE 

The  University  is  a place  for  men  and  women  to 
work.  Its  object  is  to  increase  in  its  members  their 
ability  to  do  useful  work  and  their  capacity  for  en- 
joying the  durable  satisfactions  of  life.  Many  forms 
of  activity  and  amusement  have  a legitimate  part 
in  University  life;  but  their  importance  must  never 
be  so  exaggerated  as  to  hinder  or  obscure  the  main 
purpose.  There  is  no  place  in  the  University  for  the 
insincere,  the  trifler,  the  loafer,  or  the  incompetent. 
“If  we  are  not  here  to  do  our  best,  the  sooner  we  are 
away  the  better  for  all  parties.” 

The  Relation  of  Student  and  Adviser. 

Each  student  is  assigned  to  a member  of  the  faculty 
who  acts  as  his  adviser.  Advisers  assist  the  student 
in  selecting  and  arranging  his  course  of  study.  Ad- 
visers are  always  ready  to  discuss  any  matter,  whether 
—4— 


or  not  directly  concerned  with  University  work,  that 
is  of  interest  or  of  moment  to  the  student. 

Conduct. 

The  University  expects  its  members  to  show  at  all 
times  and  places  the  fullest  respect  for  order,  morality, 
personal  honor,  and  the  rights  of  others.  Every  mem- 
ber of  the  University  carries  the  reputation  of  the 
University  with  him  wherever  he  goes. 

Four-Quarter  Plan. 

The  University  year  is  divided  into  four  quarters  of 
about  twelve  weeks  each,  extending  over  the  whole 
year  except  the  month  of  September.  This  plan  en- 
ables a student  who  carries  a normal  amount  of  work 
to  complete  a college  course  in  three  calendar  years 
instead  of  the  usual  four  and  at  the  same  time  have 
a month’s  vacation  each  year. 

Reserve  Officers  Training  Corps. 

All  freshmen  and  sophomore  men  are  members  of 
the  Reserve  Officers  Training  Corps.  Members  of  the 
corps  are  eligible  for  special  military  training  during 
the  summer  months.  Students  who  have  completed 
the  required  course  are  eligible  for  membership  in 
the  advanced  course  during  their  junior  and  senior 
years ; reserve  officers  commissions  are  open  to  those 
who  complete  the  advanced  course. 

Positions  After  Graduation. 

The  deans  of  the  professional  schools  keep  in  close 
touch  with  employers.  There  is  a Board  of  Recom- 
mendations for  teachers ; there  are  many  more  de- 
sirable positions  than  graduates  to  fill  them. 

The  University  Campus  and  Missoula. 

The  campus  is  located  in  a setting  which  is  ideally 
picturesque ; it  has  been  beautified  by  elms  and  maples 
and  numerous  other  varieties  of  trees  and  shrubs,  and 
by  the  cultivation  of  broad  expanse  of  lawns.  Imme- 
diately back  of  the  group  of  University  buildings  is 
Mount  Sentinel,  itself  a part  of  the  campus,  rising 
2,000  feet  above  the  campus  level.  To  the  south  and 
west  rise  the  rugged  peaks  of  the  Bitter  Root  moun- 
tains ; to  the  north  is  the  jagged  horizon  formed  by

Earning  One’s  Own  Way. 

Any  young  man  or  woman  with  good  health,  good 
habits  and  reasonable  ability  can  work  his  own  way 
through  college.  Many  of  those  who  make  the  greatest 
success  both  in  college  and  in  future  life  have  earned 
their  own  way.  Such  students  enjoy  the  highest  re- 
spect and  regard  both  of  their  fellow  students  and 
of  the  faculty. 

These  cautions  should  be  noted : A student  coming 
to  the  University  for  the  first  time  should  by  all 
means  have  sufficient  money  to  pay  expenses  until  he 
gets  well  started  in  his  studies  and  has  time  to  make 
connection  with  some  profitable  work.  It  is  usually 
wise  for  a student  who  earns  his  own  way  to  take 
less  than  the  normal  amount  of  college  work  even 
though  this  lengthens  his  college  course. 

The  University  maintains  an  employment  bureau 
conducted  by  a student  employment  secretary  whose 
services  are  free  to  all  students. 

Those  who  do  not  need  to  earn  their  own  way 
should  not  undertake  to  do  so,  as  the  opportunities 
for  student  employment  are  naturally  limited,  and 
should  be  reserved  mainly  for  those  who  can  go  to 
college  only  by  supporting  themselves. 

Athletics:  The  University  maintains  intra-mural 
athletics  to  the  greatest  possible  extent.  In  the  wom- 
en’s department  full-scheduled  tournaments  are  held 
for  both  co-ed  organizations  and  the  class  teams  and 
the  men  hold  inter-fraternity,  inter-class  and  inter- 
college contests.  The  women’s  division  competes  in 
hockey,  soccor  football,  basketball,  indoor  baseball, 
track  and  tennis  while  the  men  hold  contests  in  foot- 
ball, baseball,  basketball  and  track  athletics. 

Athletic  competition  is  allowed  only  after*  a com- 
plete medical  and  physical  examination. 

Intercollegiate  athletics  are  maintained  in  the  Uni- 
versity in  football,  basketball,  baseball,  track,  tennis, 
and  wrestling.  The  University  is  a member  of  the 
—8— 


Northwest  Collegiate  Athletic  Conference  and  plays 
most  of  the  members  of  this  conference  in  all  of  the 
above  named  sports.

Tuition  is  free  to  all  students. 

The  following  fees  are  required  :

ance during  the  summer  quarter  pay  a registration

HALLS 

Applications  for  reservations  of  rooms  in  Craig  Hall, 
the  women’s  dormitory,  should  be  sent  to  the  Registrar 
— 9 — 


of  the  State  University,  accompanied  by  a check  or 
money  order  for  ten  dollars  as  a deposit.  This  deposit 
will  be  applied  on  the  rent.  On  account  of  the  demand 
for  rooms  early  application  should  be  made.  The  reser- 
vation may  be  cancelled  by  notifying  the  Registrar 
not  less  than  a week  before  registration  day  in  which 
case  the  fee  will  be  refunded.

such  rooms  can  be  obtained  from  the  Registrar. 

TRAVELING  FARE  REFUNDS 

Students  of  the  State  University  whose  residences 
are  in  the  state  of  Montana  may  obtain  traveling  fare 
refunds  once  each  year  in  accordance  with  the  reg- 
ulations of  the  State  Board  of  Education  when  the 
round  trip  fare  exceeds  five  dollars  by  the  most  direct
